Would Hire Him Again In a Heartbeat

Justin was extremely helpful to my brother's custody case. We hired him with short notice and he took our case on with no problem. Every report Justin wrote up to send to the other attorney was so professional and so detailed we felt so confident every time. He was honest with the fees and what we we...re up against. He also did everything in his power to avoid trial for us. He stayed late working with the opposing attorney to get a settlement drawn up. Justin helped our family out so much by allowing us to have time with our niece again. Thank you Justin Oliver!

2 States, 10 Years, 2 PRE's LATER...Then 1 Day In Court

I have hired lawyers, I have hired lawyers who were once Judges, I have hired women, and I have hired men - young and old alike. Then there was "The Oliver Law Office". Justin Oliver and Joseph Williams were INTERESTED in my case, and that made the difference. When it came time to prep for trial a...nd for me to hear their strategy (based off of the posturing of my EX); we scheduled a meeting and they presented me with three (3) options on how we could proceed. Sounds pretty typical - right? Well, they presented me with options that they thought I'd want to hear, which very well "could" have been successful - if I wanted to take out a 2nd mortgage and sell my car to pay for it. Then they presented me with their "preferred" strategy - and NO-ONE, not me, not the Prior Judge turned attorney, not the woman with 35 years of experience, not the man with 20 years as partner with the well established exclusive FAMILY LAW firm. It was Justin and Joseph (Oliver Law) that presented me with a strategy that was never ever even considered. My Day In Court was a day like none other in my 10 year quest for Justice! I left the courthouse relaxed and refreshed. Stay Tuned...

Justin Oliver is the best in town!

I had a terrific experience from start to finish working with Justin Oliver to enforce my existing Permanent Orders. He is very intelligent, courteous, and professional. I went through divorce for 2 years and never had a good experience until I hired Justin Oliver. He will take the time to fully... understand and evaluate your situation then implement a strategy for success. Cost can add up quickly (as even phone calls are billed) however it is worth every penny to have this young professional working on your behalf! My advice is to be concise and prepared going in and Justin will take great care of you.

Divorce

Justin Oliver did exactly what he said he would in a more than timely manner. He made suggestions to make my case go easier for me. When I wanted to go a different direction than his advice he told me what could happen at the same time he supported my decision even though he didn't always agree... with it. He isn't real pricey and did an excellent job. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing family law.

Justin is an Excellent attorney indeed !!!

Justin Oliver was recommended to me by another lawyer. (I needed a good family law attorney, and the recommending attorney specialized in another arena.) Yes, Justin may be young, but his knowledge of the law, experience as a(n): youth advocate and mentor; assistant public defender, civil law, pove...rty law and assistant district attorney intern, definitely made him into a well-rounded attorney with plenty of experience in the courtroom...I was on a tight budget, needed sound legal advice, wanted someone to strategize and go to bat for me, and needed someone familiar with the court procedures in my Child Support arrearage and future support proceedings. (Although I was the parent in arrearage, there were many extenuating circumstances that related to why Child Support was stopped.)…From Justin, I felt I received great and sound advice, his total commitment and time in my case and its outcome, and his compassion in understanding my feelings in an emotionally (and financially) charged and draining situation…I was very satisfied with the outcome and now I am the parent receiving Child Support---after 10 years of me paying it---from my ex-husband! I am now better able to provide for my son and would definitely recommend Justin Oliver as your attorney! (And I will seek Justin again, in the future, if I have anymore Child Support issues with my ex-husband.)
